No Home Movie

“Because this film is above all a film about my mother, my mother who is no longer here. About this woman who arrived in Belgium in 1938 fleeing Poland, the pogroms, and the atrocities. This woman, who is only seen in her apartment. An apartment in Brussels. A film about a moving world which my mother does not get to see.” – Chantal Akerman (from : film-documentaire.fr)
